That means: Monitoring when and where you drive, how far and fast, etc Remotely disabling features, or the vehicle itself Remotely repossessing the vehicle Accessing sensors like cameras to see around and possibly inside the car It also means anyone who can figure it out also has a connection to your car on demand, and has the same powers. Don’t cheer for OTA updates.
